How to measure

Chest D
Around the fullest part of your chest, level and straight across front and back.

Waist E
Around your natural waistline, kept level all the way round.

Height A
Your complete height, floor to top of head — we use it to set the body length.
Three-piece tip. Use the same chest and waist figures across jacket and waistcoat so the set sits together cleanly.
